William A. Percy and John Lauritsen
"The Magnum Opus of Magnus Hirschfeld"
Review of The Homosexuality of Men and Women
The Gay & Lesbian Review / Worldwide

...we owe a debt of gratitude for [this translation]...This volume also contains a new introduction by the venerable...Vern Bullough. Nothing in gay literature is quite like [it]...Hirschfeld makes [mistakes, but] the chapter on "Homosexuality in Classical Antiquity" is superb; "The Legal and Social Victimization, Persecution, and Prosecution of Homosexual Men and Women" is [an] excellent chapter; a chapter on the victimization of homosexuals by blackmailers and con artists is definitive. --November-December, 2002.

"This excellent translation ... brings Hirschfeld alive" -- R. W. Smith, Review in CHOICE: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries, Jan. '01.
